351 Chapter 351 A Past Event ([-])
"But you have to remember that the situation there is more complicated. It is a place where many ethnic groups live together. There are at least four or five ethnic groups. It is said that there are more than 3000 households in Waizhaizi, and it is also rare to mention that. In the mountains There are six large villages. I heard that the locals are not very clear about the conditions inside. Jinya Cave and Xigu Cave are both famous. There is another one in the deepest part of the valley that I don’t even know its name, but I heard that The people in that cave sold spring water that they said had special uses, so the locals gave it a name and called it Guishui Cave.

Our teleportation station there is Jinyadong, which is also called Bailujing and is very prosperous.

The teleportation station is a hotel, which is quite popular in the local area. The best VIPs have been arranged and we can check in directly when we get there. This time the ethnic groups are mixed, so it is inevitable that there will be places where dialects are spoken. The merchants have already arrived in advance and are waiting for us. You still have to locate the specific location of Xiao Qiling yourself.

Also, you are not allowed to do anything else except look for people. We don’t have envoys in other people’s villages. Each ethnic minority has its own customs and rules. If any trouble is caused, it will be very difficult to deal with. So you have to keep a low profile. A little.

Okay, Xiaoxun turned around and asked Brother Bai Hao to see if it looked good. "

I opened my little hand and turned half a circle to face him. Bai Hao looked me up and down, and said with a long "Hmm~" sound: "Yes, this suit fits well and looks good, but you did it like this all at once." Isn’t it a bit exaggerated to have multiple ethnic costumes?”

After hearing what he said, I looked at my big bed beside me. It was already fully covered with at least ten sets of costumes of different ethnic groups. I thought about it and said to him, "It makes sense for me to prepare these. We don’t know much about that place. You said there are four or five ethnic groups that live there permanently. And I heard that there is a river in front of Bailujing. One side leads to Shanxi and the other side directly connects to the Hongshui River. It is the Ancient Tea Horse Road. There is a river transport trail leading to the Central Plains, so it is very developed there, and people from various industries come here in an endless stream every day.

This Hongshui River is in GZ Province and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. There are Zhuang, Yao, Miao, Yi, Shui, Maonan, Mulao... about a dozen ethnic minorities living there. It is so prosperous there, and other people come and go. There may also be people from other ethnic groups. Anyway, it won’t hurt to be a little more prepared. Can I use it accordingly when the time comes?

Logically speaking, the largest populations there should be the Zhuang and Yao ethnic groups. After all, it is near the northwest of the Zhuang Autonomous Region in DAYZ Autonomous County.

I have analyzed it and I feel that my brother will not stay in the city. He may be temporarily living in a certain village, which makes it easier for him to hide and it is not easy for outsiders to enter the village. If they can get in, they have to go in. They all have a purpose. When outsiders come to the village, they will be easily discovered. If they are enemies, he can avoid them.

He may hunt in the mountains and is less likely to wander around in the streets.

The villages should be deep in the mountains. It stands to reason that his tattoo was inked by a Miao wizard. At that time, they said that he could travel freely to the Miao village. That tattoo was a great pass among the Miao people, and no one would give him a hard time. , so it should be the most ideal and most likely choice for him to stay in Miao Village.

If it's not in the Miao village, it's in the Yao village. If there's nothing in the Yao village, you'll have to look for it in the Zhuang village. "

Bai Hao nodded and said: "Okay, these should be matched and sorted into different categories and put in your wardrobe. Do you remember all the formulas I taught you?"

I said to him: "Remember, automatically changing clothes, summoning things, cleaning, and getting food, I remember it clearly."

Bai Hao nodded: "Okay, bring everything you have with you. Let's go over there tomorrow."

The next day, we arrived at the teleportation station in Paramount City through teleportation, and settled directly in the VIP room prepared for me. I lived on the second floor. Looking out of the window, I could see directly outside. The large garden of the hotel has many flowers, plants and trees. I can’t tell what they are, but I can tell that they have been carefully taken care of. They are very neat and beautiful. There seems to be a pavilion and a swing.

After putting our luggage away, we went out to the restaurant to eat. I took a look at the surrounding environment. The hotel was quite big. Except for the VIP building I stayed in, which was a three-story independent building, there were many different styles of hotels in the yard. The small buildings or bungalows are all very warmly decorated and seem to contain many ethnic characteristics, many of which I don't recognize.

Looking at the menu, it was also a thick pile. I flipped through it and found that it contained dishes with several different ethnic characteristics. There was one for each ethnic group. The dishes were very rich and dazzling.

When I came here, I was closer to my brother. I carefully sensed his location at different times, and soon I knew the scope of his activities in my heart, and planned to set out to find him the next day.

Early in the morning I carried my small bag and walked into the deep forest, sensing his location along the way. To be honest, I felt very uneasy walking alone in an unfamiliar forest.

The mountain roads nearby were not too difficult to walk. Although I was nervous and scared, I was in a good mood. After all, I was going to see him again. In order to embolden myself, I kept mumbling and humming a little tune, and I jumped up and down. were marching in the woods on the outskirts.

"I was walking alone on a suburban road,

I brought the cakes to grandma to try.
Her family lived in a remote and secluded place,

I have to watch out for big bad wolves on the road..."

At this point, I paused and muttered under my breath: "Oh, it seems unlucky. Let's try another song."

I changed the song and continued singing while walking, intending to reach the previous positioning point and then pinpoint it.

"Little rabbit be good, open the door,

Hurry up, I want to come in.

No, no, no, I won't,

Mom didn't come back, and no one came.

Little rabbit, be good, open the door... open..." I suddenly stopped singing, and heard very slight footsteps not far away. I looked around quickly, and for some reason I hurriedly hid aside in fear. Behind the big rock, the surrounding branches could just block me. I looked at the people coming through the gaps in the branches.

The man got closer and closer, and I felt that he was still a very tall person. Judging from the outline, he should be a man. He came closer again, and the figure became more and more familiar. I quickly sensed my brother's position and closed my eyes, and followed I opened my eyes, then closed them again, and immediately opened them again. Looking at the figure getting closer and closer to me, I smiled happily, stopped hiding, and walked out naturally from behind the stone to look at him.

He was getting closer and closer to me, my heartbeat was pounding, and the distance between us was only a few meters. I wanted to call him, but my nervous throat suddenly choked, and I couldn't say a word.

I suddenly felt that his gaze seemed to be looking directly in front of him, without any sign of deviation, as if he didn't see me beside him. I felt a "thump" in my heart and felt very bad.

In the blink of an eye, he passed me by. I just felt him blowing past me like a gust of wind. I felt very sad and was stunned. My mind was buzzing. , not to mention how confused I am.

My heart said, who am I, where am I, what am I here for, I felt my head was numb, I clenched my fists, took a deep breath, turned around and shouted: "Brother."

He didn't even stop and kept walking forward. I jogged a few steps and rushed towards him. I reached out and took his arm and called him again: "Brother." Then he stopped.

I looked at him and said to him: "Brother, it's me, Xiaoxun." But he just looked at me coldly and expressionlessly. Looking at his expression and his eyes, I held it back in my eyes. The tears fell down in a flash. I looked at him for a moment and said aggrievedly, "You don't remember me again?"

He looked at me coldly, turned his head again, and continued walking forward like a lump of wood. His arm gradually slipped out of my hand. I sobbed and choked as I watched him walk further and further away. While wiping away her tears, she muttered: "I'm already crying. At least I can comfort you and leave like this."

I was so angry that I stamped my feet on the spot, picked up a small stone and threw it at him. I also shouted to him: "Zhang Qiling, don't leave." I quickly ran to his side, sobbing, raised my head and cried. Her little face was red and full of tears, and she stared at him with a pair of big tearful eyes.

The pebble just thrown hit him hard on the back of the head. He stopped and continued to stare at me coldly.

We stared at each other for a moment and he said coldly: "Don't follow me."

I originally wanted to apologize. I knew I couldn't blame him for the amnesia, but I didn't know why I was so angry that I threw pebbles at him. But as soon as he said this, I swallowed the apology and raised my hands tightly. She grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "I don't."

He walked forward again regardless of what I said. I grabbed him and followed him for a while. My mood also eased a bit. I started to feel a little dazed and followed him stupidly.

As we were walking, for some reason he suddenly stopped. I bumped into him, startling me, and he looked at me expressionlessly. I always felt something was wrong.

He grabbed my arm and lifted me up. I resisted, but he held me up with great strength. I shouted in fear: "What are you doing? Put me down."

He said fiercely: "Don't move, or I'll throw you out." The voice was so cold that it felt like a knife was stabbing his heart, so he didn't dare to move.

He brought me to a stone, and I felt him touching something around his waist. I suddenly remembered that I had just seen a rope tied around his waist.

Just when I thought of this, he had already put me on the ground. I couldn't even stand still. He was still holding me in one hand, and the rope in the other hand was already wrapped around me. He tied me up with his rope. , he didn’t tie it very tightly, but by the time I could untie it, he must have gone far away.

I kept twisting and shouting: "Why are you tying me up? Let me go, Zhang Qiling, you are crazy."

He quickly tied me up and placed me in front of the stone. I was still shouting at him: "Let me go!"

He leaned down and came very close to me and said, "Don't follow me anymore. The rope is a loose buckle. You can untie it yourself." After saying that, he stood up and turned around to leave. I felt so sad that I cried again. He said: "I know you don't remember me now, but I am a girl, and you leave me here alone, you...can you bear to leave me..."

He paused and continued walking forward. I said, "Zhang Qiling, don't leave. Didn't I promise that I would always guard you?"

But he still left without looking back, walking further and further away. Now I completely broke down and cried, my heart ached so much.

I don’t know how long I cried bitterly, but suddenly I heard a rustle in the grass nearby. I immediately held back from crying and listened to the sounds around me, "Sara, Sara, Sara, Sara," I It felt like something was coming towards me, very fast.

I thought I had to untie the rope first, so I hurriedly pulled the end of the rope left by him, but I had cried and now I was afraid. My two little hands were shaking so much that I couldn't use any strength.

The sound was getting closer and closer to me. In addition to the rustling sound, I seemed to hear a "hiss~ hiss" sound. I untied the rope anxiously, but the more anxious I became, the harder it became to untie it.

At this moment, I suddenly felt something close to me behind me, and the "hissing" sound was already in the direction of the back of my head. My hands did not stop and continued to untie the rope. I turned my head back slightly and used Looking out of the corner of my eye, along with the sound of "hiss~hiss", a long and thin thing with bifurcated tips that stretched and contracted was right next to my ear. I realized that the thing was Nobuko.
